Working through the WIP pile.

WAVY is now finished! I was at a bit of a loss as to what to take to our first inaugral s'n'b.. something not too big (because I was going to have to carry it there), or complicated (you can't bitch if you're reading charts) or black (because the lighting wasn't great). It didn't leave a whole lot, so I decided to take (and finish!) wavy! So here is a pic of me looking pretty pleased with myself over wavy.

Our first knitting get together (i'm hesitant to call it a s'n'b just yet ;) ) was a lot of fun, with good coffee, wine, cake and company. We hope to make it a bi-monthly occurence (hmm sudden thought - is bi-monthly twice a month, or every 2 months? anyway, we're aiming for twice a month) on the 'somethingth' Tuesday and the 'somethingth' Sunday (I can't remember which.. I told you I wouldn't remember Jack :P) so hopefully if any out-of-towners are interested they might be able to make the trek here on a Sunday.

I've definitely indulged in stash-increasing over the past couple of weeks too. I've ordered some Debbie Bliss Aran Tweed in Red, ostensibly for the Sunrise Circle Jacket,but really.. who knows. I also picked up some Filatura Di Crosa Zara in black yesterday from the LYS, enough for either Sizzle or Ms. Marigold - my gauge is going to be out on both of these, Sizzle more so than Ms. M, so I'm not sure how to tackle this problem yet - I shall think on it.

It is the 2nd Sunday and the 4th Tuesday for the record (I will have it tattooed on Sam's forehead in due course). It was indeed great ful although I have frogged the headscarf I was working on as it had some nasty loose bit in it. :(
